Melbourne Opera has assembled a world class cast for its new production directed by the acclaimed Suzanne Chaundy.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Rake Punished” is the alternative title of this work and will be dramatically evident in this new production starring international baritone Christopher Tonkin as the Don, well-loved soprano Lee Abramsen as the wronged Donna Anna and rising star Henry Shaw as the long- suffering servant Leporello. Designed by Dale Ferguson and conducted by Raymond Lawrence, this new production of one of operas great masterpieces is not to be missed.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
